Should I wait until the end of the year?

I want to get a mastopexy. I have wanted one for awhile honestly. After having my kids and losing weight, the girls need some help LOL!

I was considering going in July but from what I read, it would probably be raining a lot. Last time I was in Korea I was bored and had no idea what to do with my downtime. I want to make sure to avoid this by ensuring the weather is good so I can at least go walk the shops and stuff. I hate being in the rain.

Should I want until September/October for better weather?

October is considered the best month to travel there. I looked into all the weather aspects as I wouldn't want to be stuck dealing with rain either. I can handle the heat and humidity but the rain would be annoying.

I think September through December is best from what I have looked into myself. This is what I am planning on. I am hoping to get something booked for October. This way too, I will have more time to take off from work and can recover over the colder months since I live where we get all 4 seasons.

This is a common question, I think I have seen it on the forum a few times. 

To me, the best months appear to be April, May, September and October. If you want to see the cherry blossoms, April is perfect for that. Also the average temps for both April and May is around 61. It can be humid and raining at times though. If you want to get more clear skies and a bit cooler for temps for walking around, you want the end of the year. I think October is ideal for that.

I am the same way!! It seems like the driest part of the year is the months people are mentioning. I don't know if they do long form or long-range weather forecasts for Korea but they might and you can get a better idea of how the weather will be in a few months.

I am assuming you ended up waiting? I had this dilemma myself but I have found that you have to match whatever season and temps you are comfortable with, no matter where you go... Or you will NOT have a good time!

They do! I found some. I don't know how accurate they are for planning purposes. I would imagine no long range outlooks are perfect. I have tried using local ones before for gardening and they were a bit off.

Yeah I ended up putting it off. Not just because of the weather but planning with the kids was proving to be a nightmare for me. lol I am looking at October now but if I can't manage this year, I will be going next year. I can wait another year if I have to just to make the trip less stressful on myself.

Well, just take your time. Do not rush if you feel like it is something you can't manage. You not only want your surgery to be a success but you want to enjoy your trip to Korea. Traveling is one thing, but you will be traveling for medical purposes too.
